On this review I will be reviewing the new Eminem album which was released on the 31st August 2018. It's the tenth studio album by Slim Shady himself called "Kamikaze".

Eminem aka Marshall Mathers is a rapper from Detroit. Which everybody knows who he is. He has been in the scene since the 90s. Back in the early 2000s he was dominating the charts with fantastic flows with tracks such as "Without Me", "Stan", "We Made You", "Like Toy Soliders", "Mockingbird" and many more. Now the time has come where he is not that good as he used to be. He has completely changed he's not the same person anymore. I grew up with his music. I do not really listen to him that much. Back in primary school I used to listen to him a lot. But now I do not listen to him that much. However I listen to a few songs like "Lose Yourself", "Without Me", "My Name Is", "Stan" and many more. I feel that Eminem is at the stage now where nobody cares about him anymore. He's at the stage where he's not the same as he was back in the 2000s. I personally think Eminem career is finished. He cannot make another great album like seriously he should just retire. His last good album was "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" released 5 years ago back in 2013 which is a much better album than 'Revival' and 'Kamikaze'. Discussing about his discography he has released 10 studio albums. His debut album "Infinite" which most Eminem fans would probably not care much about his debut album. It was the start of his carrer. Not my favourite album but they are some tracks that I think are underrated. His second studio album " The Slim Shady LP" I would say it's my favourite Eminem album defintley better than "Infinite". His third studio album "The Marshall Mathers LP" Nearly every Eminem fans would say it's their favourite. It's defintley a classic and a great album. His fourth studio album "The Eminem Show" Another great album from Slim Shady. His fifth studio album "Encore" not my favourite but some tracks were decent. It's probably his weakest. His sixth studio album "Relapse" one of my favourites I would say it's underrated in my opinion. His seventh studio album "Recovery" did not really like this album that much some of the tracks were average it was too mainstream. His eighth studio album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" A brilliant album Eminem came back delivered a solid album with fantastic flows. His ninth studio album "Revival" which is his worst album it was too mainstream. However they were only few tracks I liked from 'Revival'. Which now a year later he surprised everybody with a surprise album "Kamikaze" What did I think of it? It's slightly better than 'Revival'. I liked how he dissed Mumble Rappers. I am not a fan of Mumble Rappers. I dont think Mumble Rap is real rap. Some tracks were alright. But I did not like how he dissed Tyler The Creator. This album is just average.

Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with "The Ringer" which is a decent track I liked how he dissed Mumble Rappers like 'Lil Pump' and ' Lil Yachty'. "Kamikaze" he proper dissed Drake which I thought it was hilarious since Drake is not releasing not that many good albums anymore. His flows were really good on this track. "Good Guy" featuring Jessie Reyez. I love Jessie's vocals on the track they work well together. My least favourite track is "Fall" I did not like how he dissed Tyler The Creator just because Tyler did not like one of his tracks from last year.

Overall it's average and disappointing. It's better than Revival. I would not listen to it again. It's a 5/10.
